Press felt structure and method of manufacturing press felt

A method of making a press felt, a press felt and a base fabric. The base fabric comprises a surface component on the surface facing the paper web to be dried and a base component below the surface component. The transverse jointing edges of the base component are provided with seam loops, by means of which the base component can be connected into a closed loop. At the first jointing edge of the base fabric the surface component extends for a predetermined distance longer than the base component and forms a seam flap that protects the seam area of the base component.

Method of making press felt, and press felt

A method of making a press felt, and a press felt. The press felt comprises a continuous base fabric in the lateral direction, and at least one batt fiber layer. The closed-loop base fabric is made of longitudinal and transverse yarns. The properties of the press felt, such as permeance, are arranged to be different in edge portions of the press felt from the midportion of the felt.
